Sirs,
I am consisdering purchasing the Garmin 60 CSX unit and I was wondering if it is compatible with a differential GPS beacon. If it is compatible but the connectors don't fit the machine, do you think the Garmin techs' could fabricate a connection between the beacon and the machine ?????? Also do you know if this machine is WAASS (spelling ???) enabled. Thanks in advance for your reply !!!!!!!!! Dave M

Many Garmin GPS receivers are compatible with DGPS beacons, the Garmin 60 CSX being one of the compatible models. It is unlikely Garmin techs would fabricate a connection for you (guess it wouldn't hurt to ask), but you can do it yourself with a little research, some forum assistance, and shopping the internet or a local electronics store. The 60 CSX has three interface points: RS-232, MCX antenna (in addition to the unit antenna) and usb, so plenty of external connections depending on what you want to do and the complexity of your needs. And yes, the unit is WAAS-enabled. Here's a good place to start, at least as an overview and wiring diagram: http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/dgps.htm
